Approx. trailering wgt.: 3,300 lbs.

The Catalina sales brochure says: "In response to Catalina 22 owners' requests for a production boat that more accurately reflects the original dimensions and weight of this popular one-design boat, Catalina Yachts is now building the Catalina 22 Sport. Catalina Yachts aims to encourage more family racing with the thousands of first generation 22s by offering an alternative to finding an older boat, and restoring it just to be competitive in the dozens of established Catalina 22 fleets. Like the first Catalina 22, the

22 Sport is easy to trailer, and a great boat to step up from dinghy sailing to a pocket cruiser/racer. . . ." Best features: Despite the effort to "reflect the original dimensions and weight" of the original C22, the Sport weighs 130 pounds more and is four inches shallower than the design it is claimed to emulate. Still, the PHRF rating appears to be at least nominally equal. Worst features: Headroom is lower than all four comps. A portable ice chest is included, but you'll have to devise your own galley arrangements.
